Rows of owlses,
originally uploaded by synx508.

I forgot to mention this, but it is an important moment. We have lived in this house for nearly 2 years. The owls have lived in tissue-paper cocoons in a series of boxes for many many more.

I have been stalking display cabinets for nearly 2 years. Finally I found one that didn’t cause philb to pull the toddler-face. So I bid. I won it for £15, but I gave them £25 as the husband delivered it to our front room, which was very nice of him.

So, owls now safely contained, although it is a little snug in there, almost as snug as the tissue-paper and box solution, but at least we can see the hundreds of staring eyes.

As I was putting them on the shelves, I kept thinking/singing ‘rows of owlses, are staring down at me’. Apologies to Radiohead: I’ve broken your song forever, in my mind.
